Their salvation will come through Beaublanc. They know it and are doing what is necessary to ensure that the Palais des Sports is indeed the breeding ground for their ambitions. After their trip to Gravelines last weekend, the Limoges CSP players once again took home advantage. The Beaublanc floor where after Nanterre, it was Dijon which bit the dust this Saturday evening. A match from the 3rd day of the French basketball championship won 87 to 73. However, as against the Ile-de-France residents, the Limougauds experienced a gap in the heart of the 1st half. They were up to 12 points behind. Fortunately, captain Nicolas Lang came out of his box and scored 7 points to quickly bring his team back and put them in a much better dynamic.
Kenny Baptiste has no time to waste
At half-time, the two teams were tied at 35, but in the second half, it was Limoges CSP who took things in hand. Nicolas Lang continued his festival to finish on 24 points with a 4 out of 7 from a distance. Fullback Trevon Bluiett was also valuable in fueling the score with 20 points on the clock including 4 of 8 from 3 points. But as against Nanterre, it was interior Kenny Baptiste who finished with the highest evaluation. +23 in 22 minutes with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 assists. If Mamadou Guisse darkened his statistics sheet less, his role in defense at the start of the match against David Holston should not be neglected.
Vincent Amsselem responded to the lead
As for the leaders, they had the difficult task of rotating the team while US leader Tyrell Terry packed his bags to return home. In this context, Vincent Amsselem, 22, responded. First in ball management. If he was not skillful at 3 points (1 out of 6), he brought a lot of other things. Particularly in terms of aggressiveness on his drive. He also finished with 11 points, 4 assists and 0 lost balls in 25 minutes of play. It’s clean. This 2nd victory of the season offers certain certainties to the staff. This team is present in Beaublanc. It remains to find the key to success far from Limousin where the CSP has not won since December 10.
